[K12OSN] Re: [Ltsp-discuss] how to backup /home ?

[Krsnendu Dasa]

I want to set up a PC for disk to disk back up using BackupPC. I am 
quite familiar with Fedora (K12LTSP) now but I have heard 
recommendations for using SME server for a job like this. Are there any 
good reasons to use SME server as opposed to K12LTSP for a job like this?

Are there any points to look out for we setting up something  like this?
